Since no one else knew how to do this I sat here all morning experimenting
with this and this is what I came up with... Its an example of how to get a
list of items back from a virtual mode list view in .NET 2.0 with multiple
selection turned on... since the .NET documentation is EXTREAML vague on how
to do this and offers no clue on what the virtual mode events do or how to
use them... just thought this might help someone else out...
